Name Tumbler issues

I decided to use Name Tumbler to see if I could find some two word domains with "ticket" or "tickets" as part of the domain. I entered "tickets" as a suggested word. Name Tumbler processed over a hundred .com domains that are still available.  However, I don't trust the system enough to use it. Why?

Several premium domain names showed up on the list: supertickets.com, premiumtickets.com, newtickets.com, cheaptickets.com, redtickets.com, and wickedtickets.com. Neither of these domain names were available. Of course, I know they would be worth a fortune, and would never end up on a registration list.

Cheaptickets.com is a major travel website. The website is probably worth more than $4 million. I thought someone made the mistake to let the name registration drop. We all know that is impossible, especially for a website as popular as Cheap Tickets.

Wickedtickets.com is another major domains. The website sells Wicked Broadway tickets, as well as other projected related to Broadway's most successful show. There is no way possible the domain name will ever be available for the price of registration. I almost thought I got lucky, but as we all know - good luck is putting in the work to become successful.

In analyzing the list, there are many errors as to what is available and what is not. Even redtickets.com was gone. I came to the conclusion that the only way to find a good domain name is to use Google's search window. Otherwise, you're wasting your time trying to tumble names that are not available, well unless they're bad domain names.  


              

Struggling makes you stronger

Many people consider their life struggles as bad luck. When moments appear most grim, they tend to blame bad luck for unfortunate occurrences. It is easy to complain and criticize another. However, you have to look at your struggles as a strategy to building knowledge.

At one point or another, we all have made mistakes. Once a person makes a mistake, they will benefit from the struggle. It will definitely make them much more stronger. Assess your mistakes as you would a term paper or a budget. Try to determine the source of the bad decision. Why were you so quick to make a decision? Did money play a role in your decision? Wants? Materialism?

I learned that struggling makes a person stronger because they will avoid making the same mistakes. They can share their experience with many others to prevent the same results. Struggling makes you stronger. Bad luck is only an excuse. however, good luck luck is something that truly exists.

Yesterday, I had an entire day filled with good luck. While good luck is rare for me, I can easily support it. Three rare occurrences took place in the same place. These are moments which are extremely rare, and don't usually occur. I would have considered them to be impossible before I experienced them.

At the exact instance you notice good luck, seize every second - take advantage of the moment. I believe that every person has spurts of good luck. When you start to think that you're having bad luck, step back and assess the situation. Most likely the bad luck is a bad decision or ones of those moments where you need to reevaluate the decision.

In essence, struggling make you stronger. If you make mistakes, you will then avoid making the same decision twice. Sometimes people have to make the same mistakes a few times before they realize the mistakes or the bad habits. Good luck on gaining knowledge through your life struggles. Life struggles is the best real-world experience.

My last quarter in college

 In 1996, I took my first college class at the local community college. At the time, I was serving in the Air Force. Essentially, my goal was to earn a drama degree. In 2004, I eventually earned a degree - an A.A. in Liberal Arts. Exactly a year later I earned an A.A. in Film.

During the fall session, I moved down to Southern California to attend UCSB. I graduated two years later with a B.A. in Film & Media Studies.

The Hollywood Writer's Strike set me back. I wanted to merge into the writing industry, but WGA writers in Los Angeles and New York City failed to find a common ground with movie and television studios.

I decided to enter a graduate program. I worked hard for three years. Last weekend, I finally graduated with a Master's in Public Administration. All I have left is a directed research course to complete my thesis.

Do your best to enjoy college because time travels by in a blink of an eye. You will never reproduce your high school and college moments ever again. Enjoy them while they last.
